Five Finds on Friday: Jenny Peterson of Paradox Pastry

Happy Birthday! Today’s picks in Five Finds on Friday at The Charlottesville 29 come from Jenny Peterson of Paradox Pastry, the outstanding baker of birthday cakes and much more, whose creations have made several appearances in TwoforTuesday. Peterson’s picks:

1) Olde Salt Oyster Stout at Champion Brewing Company. “All of the beers here are wonderful, but a weekend afternoon spent sliding oysters along with this beer is indelibly etched on my palate. Perfection.”

2) Carne Asada at MAS. “I feel so unadventurous and borderline boring by ordering this dish every time I go to Mas. I just can’t not order it.”

3) Fried Mussels and Truffled Fries at Skybar. “We work long days on Fridays at Paradox and afterward, my Sugarista Sue and I head to the Skybar for a refreshing beverage. The fries are a staple and the mussels have replaced my former favorite, the fried oysters!”

4) Our Famous Veggie Pizza at Blue Mountain Brewery. “After delivering wedding cakes to one of the many wineries in the area, I treat myself to this pizza and always offer to share with the folks sitting with me at the bar.”

Take a seat It’s springtime, y’all, and nothing says warm weather quite like sipping a Bloody Mary outside. (Or sipping a margarita outside, or sipping an IPA outside…) For years, Downtown Mall restaurant owners have fought tooth and nail for the limited real estate on the bricks, and

Ever ask yourself, “Is there any way to make beer uncool?” If so, rest assured the answer is yes. Beer traders have made it so. Not content to leave behind one of the great hallmarks of childhood dorkdom—swapping stuff with friends—beer traders communicate across the country and occasionally

Icing on top You decide to treat yourself to something sweet in the morning. The perky woman behind the counter hands you a cup for your coffee, a plate with two icing-topped donuts and…a knife and fork? The iced, powdered and sprinkled deep-fried breakfast item is generally known for

I’ve been in practice for more than a decade, and I feel lucky to have never seen a case of canine distemper. It’s a mean virus, to be sure, killing more than half of its victims (most of which are puppies). It often starts innocently enough with a runny nose, but progresses to ravage the […]

Relayed reaction The online grocery shopping world it is a-changing, and local player Relay Foods is looking to stay on the leading edge. The company, which has since 2009 offered customers the ability to shop for groceries online before picking them up or having them delivered, is rolling out

I should have disregarded the sales pitch. I had asked Ben Clore what the new restaurant he was founding with his childhood friend and chef Tristan Wraight would do differently than everyone else. He said Oakhart Social would be “a little more rock ‘n’ roll.” It was one of those vague

Liquid lunching Rainbows of cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juice have been popping up on grocery store shelves left and right, and by the end of summer, Charlottesville will be home to at least two new juice bars. When he wasn’t pressing leafy green vegetables and pineapples into bottled

Mark Thompson, Starr Hill Brewery’s founder and brewmaster for a decade and a half, dropped a bomb on the craft beer world when he announced his retirement on February 16. Since then, he’s pretty much disappeared. He didn’t respond to multiple phone messages and according to Starr Hill

Last year, UVA basketball fans lost their collective minds over the Cavaliers’ dream season, which included the team’s first ACC regular season title and tournament championship in nearly 30 years, and an impressive run in the NCAA Tournament that ended in a heartbreaking loss to Michigan State

“How often should I bathe my cat?” I’m asked with surprising frequency. It’s a perfectly valid question, but anybody who’s ever bathed a cat will understand that it usually answers itself the moment you dare to try. I remember my first job at a veterinary hospital in high school. My inaugural

It looks a lot like a spa or massage parlor upon first glance. Relaxing is something I’m not especially skilled at unless a beach-side bar is involved, but when I entered the AquaFloat lobby with its soft, aquamarine-and-sand-colored decor, sounds of nature playing in the background and

Caturra’s meow What started out as a Richmond coffee shop in 2006 has since evolved into a full-service restaurant with a new location on the Corner. Café Caturra, a coffee shop-restaurant-bar combo that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner is officially open for business in the old Toro’s Tacos

Thousands of visitors come to Virginia every year to tour the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive. As they soak in the natural beauty where the two meet off Interstate 64 at Rockfish Gap, with views stretching out across the Shenandoah Valley, they soak in something else less appealing,

Burgers, beers and bras There’s nothing better than sneaking a few potato chips on a sandwich for that perfect crunch, elementary school cafeteria style, and the guys in the kitchen at Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint will take care of that for you when you order a hamburger. They’ll also

It’s been a big year for Keswick Hall, and it’s only February. Within weeks, the inn announced its five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide, and also welcomed a new executive chef to Fossett’s Restaurant. “The hard work really starts now, in keeping it,” marketing director Janet Kurtz said of

Sultan Kebab isn’t new. Deniz Dikmen and Serhat Peker, both natives of Turkey, opened the restaurant tucked away in a small shopping center at the corner of Route 29 and Rio Road in 2012. But if you’re like me and don’t often schlep up to that side of town, it’s easy to miss. But partially […]

Valentine’s day’s a real bitch. Whether you’re coupled or single, the holiday is an annual emotional landmine that can send you to the dog house or into a shame spiral so deep that even a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Salted Caramel Core ice cream can’t pull you from it. Fortunately for you, we’ve

Tracking down all the food trucks and carts trundling about Charlottesville is no easy task. Go ahead and try with your handy dandy Google. You’ll turn up a lot more people trying to find out how many food trucks there are than you will those who have actually accomplished the feat. Why is it

In Charlottesville, a meal at Petit Pois is as close as it gets to eating in France. My dinner companion told me so. And, he should know. Jose de Brito, acclaimed chef at The Alley Light, was raised in France and his passion for French cuisine can produce strong views on the subject. What is

‘Wild ideas’ Faced with a terminal illness, most people might hunker down for months of treatment and forgo future plans. Not Mark Weber. Last summer, in the middle of an intensive treatment regimen for a malignant brain tumor, Weber bought Woolly Mammoth, the two-story restaurant at the corner
